WOW What a blast today. The rest of the gang got on site about 1 PM, about the hottest part of the day. It was quite hot today so I waited till later to ride out on the motorcycle. Alzie has a technician license now and 10 meters was dead. He asked if I wanted to try and activate? REALLY Ok sure! I got to get right on the radio without doing any setup work! ...
WB4AEG sent me this today. They also threw everything up on Github. They even made a companion book to go along with the radio. You can get it here! That is so cool. I love the fact that it has actual knobs and switches you can use. Sometimes that’s better for me in the field, if the sun is bright. Another rig I’ve been eyeballing is the zBitx from HF Signals. I love the fact that it will run off 18650 batteries! It’s neat to see there are so many options for the tinkerer aside from the big Japanese brand radios. I still need to get busy building my QCX mini. I signed up for cw academy but it was too late in the semester already. ...
